How we learn Grammar and Vocabulary

When you study a language it's important to know the substantial things that we need in order to learn better. Grammar and Vocabulary are two important aspects that we have to bear in mind if we want to speak fluently.
First of all, without vocabulary it is not possible to learn grammar: vocabulary is the language base. No vocabulary, no phrases.

When you study English, an effective way to learning vocabulary is looking up "x" words that you don't understand in a bilingual dictionary. It will be much easier for you,  to see the word translate into our language, than only the meaning in the language that you're studying. But be careful: words do not have direct equivalents in other languages.
Another way, is reading: if you're reading a text, a book, newspaper, etc.. and you find an unfamiliar word, just look up at the dictionary, translators...
Looking at the pictures can be effective to you: if you don't like much reading newspapers, books..etc ,magazines can help you. Magazines contain lots of pictures so, you can learn new words observing that picture or pictures.

Regarding grammar, it isn't essential to study in order to learn a language, but if you learn the grammar of English you will be able to speak the language very well. If you just started learning English, you first need to know some basic rules of the language. 






Ways to learn Grammar:

A.Read a lot of English books. It will help you when you express your ideas and when you come to check your work.

B.Concentrate on the aspects of grammar you personally find most difficult. Particularly in your writing you can focus on these aspects for special care  when you're editing your work. 

C. If you decide to do grammar exercises, try to go beyond just filling in gaps or doing multi-choice answers.
